Lockheed Martin reviews about "upper management"

raises are mediocre, upper management is very opaque with upcoming news

Nearly Impossible to succeed with LM (Owego NY) oversight. Managed by old school fear & intimidation and failed to trust anyone in California as they weren't trustworthy themselves! Unfortunately, upper management proved to be really be exempt from following the LM core values the company promotes.

It's a behemoth of a company that is old and set in its ways. Upper management and leaders of the company only care that its image is good enough to make it onto marketing materials or for a corporate interview about how they care about veterans, the disabled, or the environment; most of the day-to-day runnings of the departments are by lower-to-middle management and they are often incompetent, small-minded, and corrupt. Most do not care about their staff; they only care about looking good in the Stay-Green Meetings (whether a project is on track), and upper management doesn't care about how the manager got those numbers, as long as they're in the green. This is a company that will not fire a manager for sexual harassment or staff complaints or other egregious actions but will reassign him or her instead. In some segments of industry they say they are cutting edge but in fact are mired in outdated thoughts and processes.

The culture and mentality of upper management is always looking for scapegoats for their failed planning. CEO allows the culture to interfere with success. Program almost a decade late yet being ran by the same management team. Where is accountability at the management level?

Inept upper management has completely swamped the company at the Sr. Manager level on up to the top. Social justice initiatives have become much higher priority than actually delivering working products. IT decisions are made by people that have no idea what they are doing. Benefits have been almost completely slashed "because that's what other companies are doing".

Very hard to get paid overtime as a salary employee, the plant is running about half staffed so employees get overwhelmed with work and don’t get compensated for working the extra hours.

At Chelmsford, I've noticed that a swath of young people have recently left. I've also been hearing from people who have transferred, or left have straight up told me it is a toxic and cutthroat work environment. I've been be-littled by upper management when making a mistake. I've also been ignored when offering solutions! Doesn't make an employee feel valued and most likely will drive away people if this continues.

My only complaint was that much of the work I did could have been done from home to save me a long drive to work but upper management seemed to have a phobia about employees not being seen at the office. The times I was able to work from home I got much more done.
